The timing belt got cut/ broken while i was driving at 100km p/h. i stopped after about 300 metres. i opened the cover, and confirmed is broken. does that mean engine down? how do i fix that? does that mean the rings are broken too?
Some cars when the timing belt breaks thepistons hit the valves. To check put the car in gear and try to turn theengine over by pushing it backwards and forwards, alternately put a spanner onthe bottom pulley and try turning it. If it turns without a problem it shouldbe ok. If it did hit the valves it will have bent them, but the rings shouldnot be affected. You will need to take the head off to see damage.

what valves are you refering to? there is many valves in a car other than the engine valves
SOURCE: engine seized driving down road, now won't even turn over
The 3 liter mitsubishi is pretty prone to this actually. You would have to tear it down to see what happened, but yes it's likely that you have a bent valve and/or hole in the top of a piston from a valve.

Either the camshaft are seriously out of time or the piston rings/pistons are worn out.
Check TDC of Piston No1 on the power stroke coincides with both inlet and exhaust valves being closed.

There shouldn't be any oil behind the cover. If you have oil leaking from a crack in the timing cover you should remove the covers and investigate where the leak is from to repair it.
